The Clematis as a Piazza Decoration 
The beautiful climbing vine illustrated to the left 
is Clematis paniculata, one of the most satisfactory 
and profuse-blooming of our hardy climbers. We 
more fully describe it on page 141. 
Vine- Covered. 
Pillars 
Some lavms 
and gardens are 
so flat and mo- 
notonous that 
for agreeable va- 
riety it is often 
desirable to break 
the horizontal 
lines by "pillars 
of verdure.” For 
this purpose 
strong posts may 
be utilized and 
covered with' 
hardy vines, such 
a s Ampelopsis 
Veitchii, Big- 
nonia, Clematis, 
etc. ; or hardy 
Climbing Roses 
may be used, 
and are beauti- 
ful for the pur- 
pose. See illus- 
tration of Rose 
pillar on page
